Title: Highest Knowledge/Philippians 3:8-9
Content: Highest knowledge/Philippians 3:8-9
In particular, in verse 8, “And all things are counted as loss, because the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord is the noblest.” 󰡔The noblest knowledge󰡕 This is this morning's message.
What a person knows determines who he or she is. A person who knows only the ugly behaves ugly and his character becomes ugly. A person who knows what is beautiful becomes a beautiful person, leads a beautiful life, and becomes a beautiful person. Knowing the noblest principles, and then living a noble life, becomes a noble character.
The apostle Paul considered everything he knew in the past to be worthless, and it was when he knew the noblest thing that he gave up on him. So he himself became a noble person.
In 1 Corinthians 2:2, Paul says: “I have decided to know only Jesus Christ and his cross” because he has discovered something, so now he has, in other words, determined not to know anything else. To say that I have decided to know only Jesus Christ and the Zodiac means that from now on I have decided not to know anything else.
Everyone! It was Paul who had all the knowledge. I studied too much.
But when he was later caught by Jesus Christ and found out who Jesus Christ was, he was not only astonished, but, until now, I knew in vain! And you only knew that I was troubled!
The more a person knows, the more he suffers. But knowing Jesus is so great! So, I decided to only know Jesus Christ, so Galatians 6:14 says, “I have nothing to boast about except in the cross of our Christ Jesus. From now on, I have something to boast about. It is the cross of our Jesus Christ. I have nothing to boast about other than that.” So Paul decided that I would now only know Jesus Christ and his cross, and now I have nothing to boast about except the cross of Jesus Christ, and now I have nothing to preach and teach, and what I will testify and testify about Jesus Christ. nothing but the cross. This is Paul's confession. Paul now knew that the cross was the only thing he was proud of.
Everyone! Why did you do that? For to know Christ Jesus is the noblest of knowledge. Knowing Jesus Christ and knowing his cross is the noblest thing, so we have to make Jesus known to others and to know his cross. This is the purpose of evangelism and missions here.
It is noblest for us to know Jesus. A noble word is a wonderful sleeper. The nobles and nobles are said to be nobles. that is noble. The English word “noble” means “cool”. I can't express it all in words, so it's cool! We express the words of the extreme as wonderful that we can no longer express them in our own words.
And this noble word is 'different' and this and that are different. Heaven is a noble world. It is because it is different from the world. Hey! These guys are so classy!
It's a little different from other people in this world. Your husband is a noble character! Many men are all ugly men, but my husband is a very holy and beautiful man! The heart, that word, and every action is really noble. To be noble means to reach a certain climax that our words can no longer express. everyone! Why noble knowledge? Why is this the most wonderful knowledge? The knowledge of Christ means knowing the love of His cross. Why did Jesus die on the cross? He died for me, he died for me, and he died for my sins. For the sake of my eternal life, I was raised from the dead.
Truly, Christ Jesus is a death different from the death of the saints. It is a death different from the death of all criminals in the world. Who dies for the sins of others? Who dies for others? Who dies for others? Who has survived for others? Indeed, the death of Jesus Christ is a death that cannot be compared with any love in this world. The death of Christ Jesus is the death of God. Therefore, it is very noble to know the Jesus of the death, the Jesus of the cross. It is so beautiful.
Knowing Jesus is the noblest thing because the Jesus of life is the knowledge that He is the Jesus of my life. That is the Jesus we experience. Now that I know Jesus, that Jesus is the Jesus of life! Before getting to know Jesus, I thought he was the son of a poor carpenter, he was a peace activist, and he was a philanthropist helping the poor. no. Knowing Jesus as the pendulum, He is my life, my everything.
Everyone! How cool is that? what a wonderful jesus How different is that knowledge from general knowledge? The knowledge of Jesus is the noblest knowledge because it is the knowledge of love.
When we know Jesus, we know what God's love is like. To know Jesus is to say that Jesus was crucified, but the Master Jesus who taught other truths! Jesus, the master of all diseases who healed the sick! Jesus, the minister who helps the poor! Everyone! Such knowledge does not ennoble myself. I really don't know what love is. Why? A person like Schweitzer in this world. This is because there are many people who died while working with the poor throughout their lives and healing the sick.
This is because there are teachers of Shakyamuni and Confucius who have been teaching for more than Jesus. The knowledge of Jesus is noble, and to know Jesus is to know Jesus on the cross. That is why Christianity is a religion that boasts the faith of the cross and the cross, and that it is the religion of salvation through the cross.
Knowing the Jesus of the cross is the love of Jesus! God of love! God delighted in sacrificing Himself completely for others! The love of God who sent his only begotten Son, Jesus, to the world as a complete wealth! The love of Jesus, who did not hesitate to throw his life away like a shellfish, rejoiced in his death, prayed for those who killed him and blessed them!
Everyone! When you know this love, you become a completely different person.
The person of the past and the person of today are completely different. This is referred to as being noble. That is why his knowledge, his personality, his actions, and his life are different from the world, and he becomes a person who shows the supreme beauty, and everyone who knows him admires him, misses him and follows him. This is referred to as a noble person. Words that cannot be expressed in words.
To know Jesus is to know the love of the cross, so there is no higher knowledge than that knowledge. Is there anything nobler than love in this world? Is there anything more beautiful than love? Is there anything sincere than love? Is there anything more precious than love?
Is there anything more eternal than love? There is not. That is why the knowledge of love is the noblest. Knowing Christ Jesus is the noblest knowledge because it is not the scientific or theoretical knowledge that we know with our heads, but the knowledge that we directly experience. The knowledge of Christ Jesus is the most exalted knowledge because it is a moving knowledge. The knowledge of Christ is union with the living Christ, the experience of the soul through personal contact.
This knowledge of love of Jesus makes the love within us overflow. It is the knowledge that gives life satisfaction and joy. The more knowledge of the world, the more troublesome and troubled I become, the heavier my life, but the knowledge of the life of Jesus Christ gives satisfaction to our lives and makes our lives happy. It keeps my soul from thirsting forever.
The spiritual knowledge of Christ is the knowledge we want to know the more we know, so it allows us to enter the deep world of Christ's inexhaustible treasures. tired to study Stop studying now! I went to graduate school, but what else did I study? PhD study. I'm tired of studying now.
I have to stop studying now. Life is so tiring and exhausting. Stop it! But once you know Jesus, the deeper world you want to know and want to add! What world is it?
It is the world of the deep embrace of the Lord. It is a world of inexhaustible treasures in Jesus.
Everyone! A gold miner holds the pulse and digs it again and again, until he sees a gold line. So, by digging and digging, I had to dig deep into the world of the mountains.
That is what we Christians are today. Those who know Christ, know Jesus, and know the knowledge of the love of his cross will enter again and again. At the end, we will go deep into the world of love until the day God calls us. You don't even know you're tired. Because there is no setback, there is only limitless hope. So, in this world, all things will end and the day will come when hope will end, but only love is eternal. Therefore, it is said that love is the best.
When we go to heaven, there will be nothing called the history of our faith. When I go to that country, I do not even have to wait for hope. However, it is the love of Jesus that exists forever even after going to that country. Because heaven is the world of love. Therefore, we cannot help praising those who have come into contact with the knowledge of love of Jesus Christ, saying that even if we love again and again, we will always have only regrets.
How noble do you sing this, because it is knowledge that transforms itself from the heart? Change with a sincere heart. Transform into a humble person. It transforms you into a person of holiness. The knowledge of love that transforms oneself into a joyful love of service and into a sacrificial volunteer! Because there is nothing stronger than love. Because there is nothing hotter than love. Because there is nothing purer than the love of Jesus, that love makes me pure, it makes me beautiful, it makes me eternal, and because there is nothing more precious than the love of Christ Jesus, that love is the most noble, the noblest, so the most Don't you turn the ugliest man into the noblest, and live the noblest?
Everyone! The knowledge of Jesus Christ is the noblest, so I decided not to know all of them, and now I will only testify to the Jesus of love, boasting only of the Jesus of love, and live a life without thirst through the Jesus of love. Hallelujah!
Let's pray.
